“Surely there must be a reckoning?

Well, Joe thought he was gonna be a contender. He listened to the media and he listened to the political scum that promised him undying support if he’d just stand up and make a bit of noise. Didn’t they all shower him with love for 8-10 months while he spread his malicious crap? Wasn’t he the darling of the hour as the trope was developed and spread? He provided just the right amount of legitimacy (and his 007 wife was a definite bonus).

If the stuborn truth had not come out you might have been stuck with him at the Court of St. James. Kerry still thinks so much of him that he’s funding his website and lists him as one of his foreign policy advisors.

Actually, his day of reckoning has come. The political/media flacks that made the Tom Hagen promises aren’t returning his calls. The WaPo didn’t exactly go with a 64pt four column wide support story on his rebuttal letter did they? I didn’t see him on any Sunday morning lineups today.

He’s just Joe “the liar” Wilson now and that’s good enough for me. At least he’s achieved his ignominy honestly.

The current question that needs to be asked until answered is “Mr. Kerry, are any of your other advisors as big a liar as Joe Wilson?”
